Tracie Harrison, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN, Associate Dean for Research
"I have been in positions as faculty utilizing the resources of an associate dean of research, but none of the models were as fully developed as the model here. Two wonderful things about being at this college are the resources and expertise available. It's not like anything I've seen before."

Shelby Cassidy

Shelby Cassidy, Student, MSN: CNL program
"I work at University of Iowa Health Care and wanted to pursue my education with the same standards of care and education as where I work. The graduate program's flexibility is perfect for someone working full-time."

Molly Smith (24BSN)

"The College of Nursing really is a family. The connections you form with your classmates and your professors are invaluable. I've made friends that will last a life time and mentors who have taught me and helped me grow in ways I cannot even begin to express. The environment truly fostered learning and growth through genuine care for one another. It's something I wouldn't trade for the world."
